Can somebody put me out of my misery
Where exactly is the precise center of the city located?
I have a feeling it is Not the Times Square Junction under all the Neon lights as all the publicity would have us think

40 degrees, 42 minutes, 51 seconds N latitude, and 74 degrees, 0 minutes 23 seconds W longitude.

Thanks for the Link DG
But.. where will those co-ordinates place us?

Can find the locatin on Google Maps with Time but more than lilely will end up at nowhere

Additional question is there a Plaque saying you are "at that point" at that place?
I can imaging some enterprising soul selling themselves "We are Situated exactly at the heart of NYC"

According to Mapquest, that places it at the corner of Chambers and Broadway, right by city hall.

I think I found it!Copy those numbers into Google and it comes out:

And there is a map too

How far is that walking from Times Square?

However, the Link below this link(on that page) goes back to DG's answer(& link) ..How far is that away from here? I'll bet that's within a few blocks
Give somebody a bit of Homework to do

Times Square is at 42nd and Broadway which, according to mapquest, is 4.52 miles driving distance from Chambers and Broadway.

Thats over an Hours walk away Fuse (and umpteen blocks too)
